Nice period piece. I love arts and crafts. Did you fume it? How did you find hanging those really tall doors?

Thanks for all the positive comments!
Steve – I didn’t fume this … I considered it for about two seconds! I used a sanding sealer to keep the deeper grain from getting a lot darker than the surface, then applied an off-the-shelf stain. The top coats are hand-rubbed wax (almost three pounds of it!) with additional stain between a couple of the early coats to darken some of the nooks and crannies. Actually, the doors weren’t too bad to hang. I cut the hinge mortises in the face-frames and doors before assembly so I be sure they lined up, then I used a loose hinge to mark and drill all my holes. To hang the doors, I set a box in front of the case and set the door on it with a couple of shims to get the right height.

Subtle.

This is well balanced for a large piece. I like how the small lites add a special touch to the design,but also how they break up the front.They add that much needed negative space,which lightens the overall feel visually. Also,the crown molding was a good choice,not too big or fancy….it doesnt detract from the piece. Thumbs up on the wood,my favorite for furniture.

Very well done!

This is very well done. Love the details and natural color.

Thanks again for all the positive comments! This was a fun piece to build (both times – the first was 95% complete when the shop burned), and is one of my favorite portfolio items.
